    Pickling Cucumbers

    The damn things stripped the bark off 3 of my apple trees this past winter as well so my hatred for these vermin went from a dull roar to FULL VOLCANIC ERUPTION!!!!!! The snow was so deep in the yard the bastards waltzed right through the hog fence like they were dancing with the stars.

    6.5 CM for Elk?

    Every time I read through a thread like this my brain goes on "Control, Alt, Delete." I'm glad there are guys out there that dig into this stuff so I have someone to ask when I want a load for a new gun. What I read from these threads always seems to sound the same way, Blah Blah...

    Pickling Cucumbers

    I've declared our garden an official "Combat Zone" with the entire thing being a free fire area. DAMN RABBITS!!!!!!!! So I may be a "Farmers Market" patron before long as well.

    ND State Fair--Boycott or support

    I've never gone to the State Fair, so my comments are based on the RRV Fair and should be taken with that priviso. Now then....I like the "Barns", rabbits, chickens, the ribbon competitions of all types, and the geology "search through sand" exhibits. If they got rid of those I would not even...

    Putting Camso tracks on...

    My thoughts besides "What a nice, comfortable rig!" are "Can the machine run tracks effectively with all the accessories you have and can the tracks take the weight and pounding of your machine with all the accessories will dish out??" If either one of these is a maybe or a no, a bit more...

    Fillet Knives

    I still use a manual fillet knife and really like the one I currently have. Mine was made by "Old Timer" which I bought from the knife shop in Minot upon the recommendation of the owner who sharpens knives of all kinds at gun shows all across the state. I bought two and haven't even opened the...

    Strange bug help.

    Look at a pic of an adult and the front legs won't look as out of place. Also, they do somewhat use them like mantids by pinning their prey down with those spines on their front legs before feeding. However, their legs are nowhere near as strong as a mantids and these insects use their front...

    Strange bug help.

    What you have there is an immature member of the family Reduviidae also known as an assassin bug. When it's an adult it will have wings over it's back and be it's final color. It's a beneficial insect and completely harmless if you leave it be. If you handle it there is a chance you will get...

    Did Oahe Winterkill??

    I find that if a spot requires leather personnel carriers to get to, there are usually no other fishermen there when I arrive, rarely does anyone else show up during my time there, and when I leave I'm also very much without company 95 times out of 100. So, in essence, the boats are the real...

    Elevated blinds... worth the hassle?

    We've kicked this very topic around for years in my hunting circle. I think elevated blinds can improve the hunting experience and plan on building another one myself here in the near future. However, there are several factors for and against elevated blinds as well as inumerable personal...

    Catfish

    Right off the wall of the lower tailrace parking lot by the launch. It's called the honey hole. A piece of night crawler on an 8 inch snell on the bottom with a 1/2 oz or larger no roll sinker will catch you more catfish than you can eat. It is RARE to catch a catfish over 4 lbs down there...

    Greenhorn requesting help

    Greetings. My advice from 40 or so years of fishing rivers is to first learn about current seams, eddies, backflow currents, upwellings, confused water, flat water, and other aspects of reading moving water to locate possible fish locations. Then take the time to learn how current will affect...

    WASP supernest

    A midnight "Smash and Dash" is the way I deal with wasp nests. A good flat board propelled by anger and frustration works pretty good. (Grin)

    Fkn catepillars.....

    Found the active ingredient. Imidacloprid, which is a neonicotinoid. That explains the quick knockdown. Also, a good product with an LD50 (mammals) of >5000 mg/kg for skin exposure so is also a very safe product to use around the house. Even better than tempo if you look at from a purely...

    Lighning Bugs

    Lampyridae (fire flies/lightning bugs) are not a particularily strong species. They are very susceptible to pollution so if you have a good population around your area, it's a good indicator of a clean environment. Those blinky critters have filled many a night with childlike delight in my...

    Fkn catepillars.....

    Looks like a good knock down. That's a new product to me. What's the active ingredient?

    Fkn catepillars.....

    Not knocking either product, as was mentioned before, both are safe and effective. However, if you look at the LD50 (mammals) for Talstar (Bifenthrin) at >2000 mg/kg and the LD50 (mammals) for Tempo (Beta-Cyfluthrin) at >2500 mg/kg, Tempo is 25% less toxic to mammals than Talstar. So if given...
